Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 40 / Wednesday, February 28, 2018 / Notices sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES Needs and Uses: This request is for extension of a currently approved information collection. When creating a Request to Archive oceanographic data or information at the United States (U.S.) National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), well-organized and complete metadata describing those data are needed for long term understanding and use of those data. The Send2NCEI web application provides a web-based form for easily collecting required and optional descriptive metadata to describe oceanographic data in a way that supports Executive Order 12906 and structures those metadata to conform to the internationally used ISO 19115 Geospatial Metadata suite of standards. Descriptive metadata informs the suitability of data for use by future data users and should provide critical context about how data were collected, what techniques and measurements were made, and data quality characterizations. Information about the data provider or other individuals is only used by NCEI to contact the data provider with questions about submitted data, about the status of the data in the archival process, and to provide appropriate scientific recognition and attribution for submitted data. Send2NCEI will be used by earth, ocean, and atmospheric scientists and their data managers. Affected Public: Not for profit institutions; state, local or tribal governments; business or other forprofit organizations. Frequency: On occasion. Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. This information collection request may be viewed at reginfo.gov. Follow the instructions to view Department of Commerce collections currently under review by OMB. Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice to OIRA_Submission@ omb.eop.gov or fax to (202) 395–5806.

I. Abstract

    This request is for extension of a currently approved information 
collection.
    The purpose of this information collection is to obtain information 
from individuals in the seven United States (U.S.) jurisdictions

affected by coral reef conservation programs.
    The Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP), developed under the

for programs intended to enhance the conservation of coral reefs. We 
intend to use the information collected through this instrument for 
research purposes as well as measuring and improving the results of our 
reef protection programs. Because many of our efforts to protect reefs 
rely on education and changing attitudes toward reef protection, the 
information collected will allow CRCP staff to ensure programs are 
designed appropriately at the start, future program evaluation efforts 
are as successful as possible, and outreach efforts are targeting the 
intended recipients with useful information.

II. Method of Collection

    Information will be collected in the means most efficient and 
effective in the individual jurisdiction. For the three years covered
